RIYADH: Saudi humanitarian agency KSrelief inked a $4.7 million collaboration deal with the World Health Organisation (WHO) on Friday to provide emergency and specialised health services in earthquake-affected areas of northern Syria. The agreement plans to treat over 1.2 million individuals, including displaced and host communities in these locations.
The pact aims to improve primary, secondary, and specialised healthcare. It will also aim to reduce the spread of diseases and ensure a safe health environment for the most vulnerable.
Dialysis services will also be provided in 20 centres. Dr. Abdullah Al Rabeeah, Supervisor-General of KSrelief, and Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of WHO, signed the agreement on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly’s 79th session in New York.
Over 1.2 million individuals, both the displaced and the host community in these places, are expected to receive treatment as a result of the agreement.
Improving primary, secondary, and specialised healthcare is the agreement’s main goal. Additionally, it will try to stop illnesses from spreading and give the most vulnerable people a safe and healthy atmosphere. Twenty centres will also provide support for dialysis services.
